Ordering nodes in a Global Availability Pool

Can iControl be used to reorder the nodes in a global availabiliy pool?

 

 

Example:

 

 

Widip: foo.3dns.mycom.com Global Availability LB Mode

 

Pool (1): foo_pool Preferred Global Availability

 

Virtual server 1 172.16.1.1 Order 1

 

Virtual server 2 172.16.1.2 Order 2

 

 

Can I Swap the order on VS 1 & 2? I don't see a method to do it, but I have been know to miss (a lot of) things.

  • Looks like you found a hole in the interfaces. We currently expose the ability to set the ratio in the add_pool_virtual_server() method

    struct VirtualServerAttribute { 
         IPPortDefinition source, 
         IPPortDefinition translated, 
         IPPortDefinition depends, 
         long ratio, 
         EnabledStatus status, 
         StatColor state 
     }; 
      
     void ITCMGlobalLB::Wideip::add_pool_virtual_server( 
         in String wideip_name, 
         in String pool_name, 
         in VirtualServerAttribute vs 
     );

    But we currently don't have a method to set that attribute after the virtual server has been added. If you need this functionality, contact product support and we can get the process started for a Customer Special Request to get it included in upcoming releases on the 4.x platform.

    BTW, I verified and this is available on our 9.0 platform with version 9.0 of the SDK.

  • 9.0 does have some pretty exciting features like . I'm fairly fond of that as I did most of the work on it.

     

     

    But since you can't upgrade, if you really need this feature, contact support and get a CSR rolling.

  • Hi, does anyone know if this functionality was added??? or an alternative way to re-order pools in a wideIP at v4.x?

     

    Cheers very much
